That is awesome. I'm a big fan of Kimock and always find myself on the cripe website reading K's interview about that guitar and the teak. I've been playing with some CAD of a wolf hybrid and hope to do an eagle next. There are some seriously wicked lines in Cripe's guitars. I'm really drawn to his design elements/aesthetics. Please provide any more details if you can!

Kimock's Cripe is crazy cool. Just obscenely heavy. Gotta be every bit of 12 pounds. All ebony and maple. Even acoustically, it's surprisingly toneful. Some heavy dense-wood guitars are kind of dead and lifeless with no resonance. This one, for some reason just sounds real cool and harmonically rich. Steve has 3 humbuckers installed. The neck is a Lollar low-wind Imperial. The middle and bridge are Lollar El Rayo's. He has a strat selector switch, but also a secondary volume control and polarity flip switch for the middle pickup, I think. It allows him a couple of "out of phase" settings where all the bass goes away and the result is a very clear and juicy and thin tone. I think the secondary volume control allows him to blend in the middle pickup, but I'm not 100% on that. What I do know is that the guitar makes a huge variety of tones and he got a LOT of use out of the phase cancelled tones. They were so sweet and musical and funky. It's a very playable, fun, and comfortable guitar, other than the weight.
